The Unofficial Furman Football Page

New poll is out. http://www.fcs.football/cfb/polls.asp?div=fcs STATS underestimates us compared to the rest (#19). We are unproven I suppose. But that just means our rise will be more dramatic!

It's about where everyone has us ranked really - FCS Top 25 in preseason football publications (No. 16 in Athlon Sports, No. 20 in Lindy’s and No. 14 in Street and Smith’s)... so teens to low 20s in most I have seen including AGS.

*SoCon getting decent respect with SEVEN teams in top 50 range. everyone except Western and VMI.

Wofford 9th, Furman 19th, ETSU 26th, / Chatt at 39, Citadel 45th , Mercer 47th, Samford is 53rd
sort of a 3 very good teams and 4 'scary' teams that can beat anyone on a given day

Based on our results for the last few years, starting out this high should excite us. Great days ahead for Furman football!

FYP, alphabetically speaking; did not fix inaccuracies.

We all know it is much better to start in top 25 than outside it. For example just say we go 1-2 the first 3 games we prolly stay in. If we go 1-2 to start and wasn't in the top 25 we wouldn't be after 3 games.
